The Fiske mentoring committee shared how we went from just one mentor years ago to a full program with a curriculum, family engagement activities and mentor training. Grateful for this team and for our fabulous mentors @FiskeNewcomer@fiske#ell@lexingtonsuper#LexLearns18
Fantastic community meeting @ Fiske this morning with our new ELL families and teacher mentors. A great way to kick off another year of mentoring! We capped it off with veteran parent speakers: “years ago I was sitting where you are sitting now” . #ell
A few straightforward expectations help make small group instruction a success! Kids have been working hard on following these across math, reading, and writing groups this year. My personal favorite - SHARE THE AIR!
To our public school friends and neighbors in Andover, N. Andover and Lawrence, and to our LPS employees who live in those communities: we’re thinking of you, and we’re here for you if you need anything.
Mentoring fosters relationships between teachers and students that are mutually beneficial. Looking forward to a great year ahead! #EllChat_BkClub#ell@FiskeNewcomer#mentoring
If every person you speak with agrees with everything you say or think, your capacity to learn won't be challenged.
It's when we have diverging thoughts, perspectives and experiences that capacity can be stretched.
Seek out opportunities to be pushed.
